Bowie is also one of my favorite artists. Tough to choose a favorite track from him, but this one is definitely in the running.

Not much to say about this one. First heard it in Goodfellas and then later in life learned about Harry Nilsson. So a little Nilsson Schmilsson today:

Lorenzo Colombo has been insanely clinical this season. Well done!

Yeah, and he was a last minute pickup to start the season and he’s still on my transfer list.

Took me a while to give Bruce a shot, but glad I did. Too bad I never saw him live though. This one isn’t my favorite track, but one of them:

My father is always amazed that I know my fair share of music from the 60s and 70s. He’s more a 50s guy himself and Buddy Holly was always his favorite. Anyway, he’s probably most amazed that I know more Everly Brothers tunes than he does. The Everlys are one of my favorites and a big influence on a lot of bands. As successful as they were, I just wonder if they could have been a bit more if the music scene hadn’t changed and some personal life issues hadn’t got in the way, and yet they’re one of the most influential acts ever.

First track has one of their biggest hits, but the second track is arguably my favorite from them. Don’t get me wrong, I love the first track as well. Backing band are The Crickets, Buddy Holly’s Crickets shortly after he’d died.

Adding the studio version for some of the instrumentals.

QUIZ, and not cheating, much to my surprise the Everlys are not the most successful duo. Do you know who is?

Not the best band from the Manchester area, but one of them and definitely better than Oasis if you ask me. Curious what they would have done without that first hiatus.

We’ll get even more “current” today with my favorite “current” artists in Fleet Foxes. They’ve had an incredible run thus far without a single bad album. I saw them when they toured for their first full length album. If you like folk you’ll probably like them, but they’re much more than just that. Here’s one of their early tracks:

We’ll get a little closer to current today. I liked them when they landed it big, but apart from the first album didn’t listen to more than the hits. Then lost track of them a bit and so I missed on out on this one for a few years, but love this track.

I haven’t listened to these guys in quite some time. When the record came out I thought they were pretty good.

I haven’t really heard more than a few tracks, but despite the pretty blatant “homage” to Led Zeppelin (who I’ll get to one of these days) I like what I’ve heard. Need to hear more though.

My cousin got to see them live in Oakland, CA at the Coliseum. I was visiting that weekend and he was feeling guilty because he didn’t get a ticket for me. He said the concert was wild. He had asthma and just a couple of songs into the set he had to make his way to the back of the venue to be able to breath. In the movie “Moneyball” there’s a scene where you can see the concert poster behind Billy Beane’s desk. He had their records (vinyl) so I got to listen to them and they have been one of my favorites ever since.

Fir, kind of funny you posted that Greta Van Fleet performance from SNL. I was trying to find the a video on YouTube of The Clash doing “Straight to Hell” from SNL and couldn’t find it so I went with “Train in Vain”.

Sadly I was too young to ever see them live. Closest I got was Big Audio Dynamite opening for U2 during their Achtung Baby tour. “Should I Stay or Should I Go” stood out, but I didn’t really know The Clash yet.

Nice one E, one of their best.

Xavi, post a track a day. I’m only so familiar with Jazz and Goth.

ProPain, metal isn’t my thing, but that Paulo Nutini track is more to my liking.

Since I was having trouble deciding yesterday and there are more Doors fans that I expected, I’ll add my other favorite “deep cut” from them:

Where as “Land Ho” features a bit more Krieger’s guitar work I feel as though this one has more of Ray Manzarek’s influence.

Tomorrow I’ll post something other than The Doors.

[BLAUGRANA]

Great choice Kawai! I’m a HUGE Doors fan. “Roadhouse Blues” is arguably my favorite “hit” of theirs.

Here’s one of their lesser known tracks, from the same album, that I really like:
